It’s absolutely true that a lot of modern-day problems with being tired come from bad sleep habits. What I’m talking about is a real phenomenon that isn’t being in front of a screen too close to bedtime. If anyone wants to know more, here’s a 3-minute video from AsapSCIENCE about what research shows.

Because of this f*male, the unfortunate Gamer has to postpone the start of his daily gaming session. The bros left him behind, because the grind can never stop
If only gaming companies listened to the fans and made all the women characters look like Gerardo de Rivera we wouldn’t be having this conversation every time a new game is released 😔
I consider myself a racist so I went to my city’s mall promoting veganism. Obviously veganism is racist because FOOD DESERTS THO. Obviously my target audience at my city’s mall were people who live in food deserts. Obviously I hate indigenous people who live off fishing, I hate them by promoting veganism near my city’s...
Y’know, I was starting to doubt the average intelligence of users on this godforsaken website, but then this post popped out and FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED.
I’m also a racist so I guess I should go to the local mall and promote veganism like you did!
I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...
Seen this comment several times and since you’re OP and can get more eyes on you than my random comment: P6 paid for in full, installed GrapheneOS with no gApps and no Work Profile and I still have that app
Hey there! I’m new to paper MTG and play Commander with my playgroup. We’ve been having a debate about whether the total value of a deck really indicates how strong it is. One of my friends argues that value doesn’t equal strength, but I can’t help but wonder when I keep losing to a deck with a higher price tag than...
So, after taking into account another comment, I did some calculations and it turns out my upgrades are worth around $25 while theirs are closer to $75. I might have missed a few of their cards since I didn’t have the exact upgrade list on hand, but that’s the general idea.
Oh, and I totally forgot to mention that neither of us really splurged on lands. I grabbed a few for $3 total, but they didn’t bother since their deck didn’t really need them. So, no fancy, expensive cards that don’t really add much to the gameplay.
The difference in card value isn’t as drastic as I originally thought, but I’ve been finding it tough to come out on top in our matches lately. Back when we were both using stock precons, things felt more evenly matched. Now I’m just hoping to survive another turn, every turn after their engine starts/
Their upgrade was pretty straightforward compared to mine, which could have been a bit more focused. Plus, their deck is a bit easier to play with
Some of my best commander decks are my cheapest. It’s almost all about synergy.
I have to admit, their deck is seriously impressive compared to mine, especially after all the recent upgrades. Their deck is so streamlined and efficient, leaving no room for confusion about its strategy and execution!
My deck, on the other hand, is a bit more versatile but that comes with its own challenges. It can be tough to decide which upgrades to go for and what to swap out. Plus, as someone else mentioned, my deck might not be the best fit for this particular 1v1 scenario anymore. We used to be evenly matched, but now I find myself struggling to keep up and take the lead, I think I won only once since the upgrades, and only because they got mana screwed lol
a precon deck with $120 in upgrades over $20 in upgrades will definitely give them a leg up
I took another look at my calculations and realized that the $120 probably included all the fancy full arts and foils. Even though I had to rely on my memory and might have missed a few cards, the upgrades seem to be only $25 mine compared to their $75 for around the same number of cards (minus the lands).
It’s not as big of a difference as I thought before, but despite that, I still haven’t been able to get ahead in any of our games since then lol
Yeah, you make a good point! Having more colors does tend to mean pricier lands that come into play untapped, among other things.
I’m not necessarily trying to keep up with them in terms of budget, but it’s clear they have more to spend on their deck than I do. And it sounds like they’re planning on taking it even further! I have no idea what improvements they have in mind, but I might have to rethink our 1vs1 games. Maybe I’ll need to build a new deck specifically to counter theirs, or perhaps suggest they splurge on upgrading their second deck instead (although I highly doubt they’ll go for that option)! Otherwise I’ll have to refuse their challenges, since being always on the losing end and being stomped isn’t much fun
That sounds interesting, thanks for the suggestion. We’ll definitely consider it!
deck’s shortcomings
I’ll have to understand where exactly is the “issue” lying, first. We both have creature-heavy decks, but mine has weaker creatures that “waste” mana because they don’t bring much to the table compared to what theirs do, not to mention the fact that they can play more creatures than me each turn thanks to the basic mechanics of their deck
proxies
We considered this as well, but we haven’t decided on how to do it! For the moment we’re good with just our cards without venturing there!
That makes sense! The situation I’m talking about is in commander duel, though, and it’s tough to run too many interactions without sacrificing playing time, haha. I do have a good amount of spot removal (6) and board wipes (3), so I really can’t add any more to my deck.
The problem is that my opponent can quickly build up a board of better and bigger creatures than I can, and since both of our decks rely on creature damage to win, adding more removal wouldn’t do much good (postpone thw inevitable by a couple turns at best). Every removal spell I add takes away a creature from my deck (even though they might not be the best, having a creature is better than nothing) and that messes with my strategy.
I don’t have any combo pieces in my deck; I focused on making it consistent rather than aiming for a big explosive combo. So, according to the video, I’m not doing anything wrong.
When we both had stock precons, the matches were more evenly balanced. But after they upgraded with more expensive and better creatures, I haven’t won a single game, haha. The one time I did win was because they missed several land drops and I got some lucky draws lol
Could you please clarify for me? If I activate an ability that has a cost and then copy it, do I need to pay the cost again for the copy to resolve?...
I took a look at Isareth’s entry on Gatherer, and it seems that there are indeed two different abilities at play here. This means that you are correct in pointing out that one can copy either the first part or the second part of the ability. It’s quite an interesting interaction! I am excited to try it out and see how it plays out in a game!
Yeah, you’re totally right about being able to copy the ability after I already paid the mana cost and choose new targets. So I can target a different creature with the same mana value to bring back now. Makes sense!
I checked out Isareth’s Gatherer page and it seems like the first ability, the one triggered by attacking, doesn’t actually target anything when it goes on the stack. So I can either copy the ability after I paid mana like we talked about earlier, or I can copy the first one right after the trigger. This means I can pay mana twice and bring back two creatures with different mana values! It’s a pretty cool trick that can be really handy depending on what’s going on with the board and graveyard.

Do you think deck total value is a good enough indicator of how strong it is?

I would greatly appreciate some clarification on how triggered/activated abilities, especially those that involve a cost, can be copied. Thank you for your help with this.
